ハロゲンあるいはハロゲン化物を用いる製鋼プロセスの可能性

抄録

If reaction products of a steelmaking reaction are gaseous materials, then it is expected that refining limit of the impurity may be infinitesimal because the gaseous materials can be continuously removed from a reaction chamber. If halide can be produced in a steelmaking reaction, then the reaction product is the gaseous material.
First possibility of halide production in steelmaking process is discussed on the basis of the thermochemistry.
Then removal of Si and Cu in molten iron saturated with carbon is experimentally proved by using Cl₂ or FeCl₂.
